Washington Capital United

What soccer programs and age groups does Washington Capital United offer?The Development Academy serves roughly ages 4–8 as an introductory, technically focused track. The competitive boys and girls program covers about ages 8 through high school with Premier Academy–style training and league play. Add-ons include winter futsal, the eight-week Advanced Training Performance block for birth years 2014–2018, and summer camp for ages 7–14.

Where does the club train and hold camp?Summer camp runs at The Fields at RFK Campus, Field 3A, 401 Oklahoma Avenue NE, Washington, DC 20002, with restrooms, water, and a concession stand on site. The Advanced Training Performance program uses Randall Recreation Center, 820 South Capitol Street SW, Washington, DC 20024. Competitive and academy field assignments can vary by team and season; families should confirm the latest training map when they register or after tryout placement.

How do tryouts and registration work?Tryouts for spring and for the 2026–2027 cycle are organized through PlayMetrics signup links tied to each tryout window. Development Academy enrollment, competitive tryout registration, ATP, and summer camp also use PlayMetrics, so one account can cover multiple programs. After tryouts, staff communicate next steps through the same registration system families used to sign up.

What are example fees for camp and Advanced Training Performance?Summer camp is $345 per week on the early-bird rate and $395 per week at the regular rate; early-bird registration that saves $50 has used an early-March cutoff in recent seasons. Travel-team and Development Academy families may receive a discount code through PlayMetrics, and sibling or multi-week camp bundles apply when siblings enroll the same week or families register multiple weeks. The eight-session ATP block is $319, or four sessions for $169.

What is the club’s philosophy and community approach?The club’s mission is to develop players while building futures—nonprofit structure, strong coaching, and growth on and off the field. The partnership with DC Soccer Club supports a higher-level pathway for eligible players, and relationships with Events DC, the Washington Spirit, and Youth Sports for All reinforce access and community in the District.
